Preseason is over.  Time to get to the real season and do it in style like only Jagr can.

If he comes back?  Do you know something I don't know?

Nope.  Just worry about players with nagging injuries.   He came back for a partial game and was back on IR.   Not a good sign.

Wouldn’t surprise me if we wasn’t back until next season. 

Also, Jets have been very aggressive in finding a centre at the deadline.  That in itself is telling.  Might not just be for depth.

Tough for teams to match up against three scoring lines...

And a 4th line of Copp-Lowry-Armia/Tanev.  Thats a damn good shut down line.  Lowry was playing against other teams top lines.  Assuming thats still the plan, it creates three scoring lines for the Jets that will be very hard to defend.

So lines now are:

C-S-W

E-S-L

Perrault - Little - Roslo

Copp - Lowry - Armia

Someone getting sent back down?  Either Petan or Roslo ?  What happens to Tanev when he comes back?  Does he sit?

 

If there was a song to describe the Jets right now (add a s to gun)

3/4 of the way through the season.... if the playoffs were to start today, these would be the matchups

Focking Calgary gets Vegas. So they're in the 2nd round.

Otherwise SJ. Nash and US

Just can't see Tanev knocking Armia out of the lineup... but who knows

PK is prob Copp/Lowry and Little/Armia...?

Statsny probably replaces Armia on second PP unit

Big show of support for Mike Yeo.

 

Next we can expect Armstrong to come out and say that Yeo has the full support of management!

Will be interesting to see how Paul does and whether the Jets will try to keep him beyond this season.  Cap will come into play big time.

 

Some chatter that Jets are in on Ryan McDonagh...

Another STL Armstrong debate?

So then it would be a 1st and two 4ths...?  or is it the 4th or Foley?

That would be tough without too much cap space and without a first rounder.

 

Niku, 2nd, and few more? Maybe Comrie?

Latter im reading. 1st, 4th and Foley is a lot.

If Foley does NOT sign with the Blues, they get the 2020 4th Rounder.  If he does sign, they do not get that second pick.

By the way, if the Jets pick 1-3 in the draft this year (which would take a monumental collapse), the first round pick becomes a 2019 pick as opposed to this year.

Assuming Jets make the playoffs and Foley signs a contract, its a 1st this year plus Foley.  Thats it.  At least as I understand it,.

Interesting, some non-Winnipeg fans consider it a lot to give up and a big score for St Louis.  I suppose its one of those deals that is good for both teams.  Having a late round pick on a team with so much youth means little compared to Playoff success right now.  And we're hardly hurting for young players so Foley, while a good prospect is expendable.

It's either a 2018 1st rounder and Foley if Foley signs with the Blues, or a 2020 4th rounder if Foley doesn't sign.

Not a fan of that one...  doubt McDonaugh wants to come to Winnipeg anyway

Would not trade Niku.  And they cant trade their 1st next year as its part of the conditions in the St Louis trade.

 

It's tough to give up Foley but you have to pay something. We have depth on the wing with other prospects coming through too.

The transition from NCAA to the NHL is big. Some make it and some don't. I hope Stastny contributes and helps us in the playoffs and we'll forget all about Foley.

A two year deal with a bit, as in a fair amount, of a pay cut? Maybe Wheeler can smooze him.

An elite passer centering Laine and Ehlers...? Uh, hell yeah!

Minnesota connection. He might suck it up with the hopes of getting deep in the playoffs and big payday in a couple of years.
